4.3.2. Setting the Ribbon Tautness
The factory settings cover a large range of varying ribbon
widths, nevertheless slight adjustment may be necessary when
using very narrow or very wide ribbon.
The unwinding/roll-up torque has to be increased, when:
-
the ribbon is slack or has folds
or
-
the ribbon is not wound up tightly enough on the roll-up
mandrel.
The unwinding/roll-up torque has to be decreased, when:
-
the ribbon stretches visibly or tears during printing
or
-
the ribbon is not transported properly.
The braking torque of the ribbon unwind mandrel (1) and the
ribbon roll up mandrel (2) can be set from the front using the red
plastic hexagonal nuts (3) on the ribbon mandrels.
